Pro's news

Did you hear the news last week?

Tiger’s back! Some of you may have seen the teasers that he’s been feeding on his social media recently, showing off his ability to hit balls once again now that the doctors have given him the green light. Last week the 14-time major winner announced that he’s going to return to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge after 15 months out; an event that boasts a stellar field of the world’s very best.

We’ve been down this route several times before with Woods, so let’s hope that this time is different in that his body can hold up to the rigours of professional golf. If it does, 2018 promises to be an interesting year with a fully-fit Tiger prowling the fairways once again.

What is your main golfing goal for 2018? Maybe it’s to lower your handicap, shoot a PB or simply play more golf. Let us know using the link below.

Yes, you read that right! Between now and the 24th December 2017, if you purchase any new Lithium trolley from Motocaddy you’ll be able to claim a FREE Motocaddy cart bag worth at least £99.99. The bag you’ll be eligible for will depend on the trolley that you purchase, but what a deal! This is only available while stocks last so be sure to come and see us in-store ASAP.

We know that over 70% of you use some sort of trolley to transport your clubs around the course. If you’re looking for an alternative to carrying then be sure to visit us as we have a selection of both electric and push trolleys in-store to suit all price points. Here are two of our favourites:

Motocaddy S5 CONNECT electric trolley

Motocaddy P360 push trolley

Power and gadgets or fuss-free fun?

The screen on the S5 CONNECT provides front, middle and back yardages, as well as smartphone notifications. In comparison, the P360 push trolley has no motor so doesn’t require charging between rounds. It also has a rotating front wheel for improved steering, plus a console unit to house your accessories.

Whichever is your preference, opting for a trolley will take the stress off of your body for around seven miles of walking each round. Plus, with a trolley taking the weight, you can happily pack your bag full of waterproofs, food and any other accessories you would have otherwise left in the car.

Earlier this year the R&A and USGA released a proposed a set of changes to the Rules of Golf, in an effort to bring them up to date to fit the needs of today’s game. This week we’re going to look at one of these modifications: touching the sand in a bunker.

Current Rule 13-4

The current rule states that you must not touch the sand with your club before your shot, resulting in a two-stroke penalty if you do – a rule we’re sure you’re all aware of.

New Rule 12.2b

Under the proposed changes, you will be allowed to touch the sand before you play your shot, as long as you’re not testing its condition, making a practice swing or grounding your club close to your ball.

At this time of year, many of you will be considering upgrading your waterproofs for the wetter times ahead. One of the recent collections to hit the store is this striking Pro-Flex EVO collection from ProQuip, comprising of waterproof suits, quilted jackets and gilets, as well as a merino lined sweater.
